Tether, the world’s leading digital asset company, has made a strategic investment in StablR, a prominent European stablecoin provider. This partnership aims to accelerate stablecoin adoption across Europe, reflecting Tether’s dedication to fostering innovation and compliance in the region’s digital asset ecosystem.
The collaboration highlights Tether’s focus on fully regulated stablecoin solutions, including StablR’s EURR and USDR, which are designed to enhance liquidity management, lower transaction costs, and deliver significant savings to users. With a European stablecoin market cap nearing $400 million—driven in part by the EU’s forthcoming MiCA regulatory framework—momentum in the sector is building rapidly. MiCA, set to take effect on December 30th, enforces strict compliance standards for exchanges and stablecoin issuers across the EU.
A Technological Edge with Hadron by Tether
StablR will leverage Hadron by Tether, a cutting-edge tokenization platform launched in November. Hadron streamlines the process of tokenizing various assets, including stocks, bonds, commodities, and stablecoins. The platform offers a user-friendly interface and comprehensive compliance tools, encompassing Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), risk management, and market ecosystem monitoring.
According to Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether:
“The European stablecoin market is on the cusp of remarkable growth, driven by evolving trends and robust regulatory frameworks. Tether is proud to support StablR, whose vision aligns with our commitment to compliance, innovation, and accessibility. This investment reinforces our dedication to the European digital asset ecosystem. With Hadron, we’re paving the way for a more flexible, transparent, and efficient economy powered by digital tokens.”
StablR: A Growing Force in the Stablecoin Market
StablR’s global vision aligns perfectly with the explosive growth of the stablecoin market, which recently surpassed a $190 billion market cap. Gijs op de Weegh, Founder and CEO of StablR, noted:
“From the start, StablR has prioritized compliance, liquidity, and flexibility for institutions and merchants. This investment strengthens our ability to deliver on that promise. We are proud to lead this new era for stablecoins, supported by Tether and other visionary partners.”
Earlier this year, StablR achieved a significant milestone by securing an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority for its MiCAR-compliant stablecoins. These fully backed stablecoins, EURR and USDR, are designed to meet the demands of financial institutions, enterprises, and retail users seeking secure, compliant, and easily redeemable digital assets.
Expanding Across Networks
StablR stablecoins are issued as ERC-20 and Solana-compatible tokens, allowing seamless transfers to any Ethereum or Solana wallet. The company plans to expand its network reach using Hadron by Tether, further enhancing liquidity, interoperability, and accessibility within the broader blockchain ecosystem.
This partnership underscores Tether’s ongoing commitment to fostering regulated and innovative solutions for the European digital asset landscape. It follows a series of initiatives aimed at advancing the adoption and development of compliant digital assets in the region.
